The Cringe Effect

The cringe effect is caused by the overuse of the word “cringe” to the point where the user becomes “cringey” themselves.

Person 1: “Bro thats so cringey!!!”
Person 2: “Im afraid your friend has succumbed to the cringe effect, its too late for him.”

Birthday effect

Also known as the birthday blues, this effect is a statistical phenomenon where an individual's likelihood of death appears to increase on or close to their birthday, e.g. due to skydiving in order to celebrate birthday

They say there's a birthday effect, so I’m skipping the skydiving this year; I don’t want to become a statistic.
